After a wealthy woman went bankrupt, her live-in husband became her sugar daddy.

Chapter 125 Compassion

"Driver, hurry up and get to the police station. Once we get there, we'll be safe."

"Girl, who exactly are you? I knew I shouldn't have taken your order."

“They are bad guys, and I am a police informant with important leads.”

Tsk, when you're traveling, you give yourself your own identity. I calmly directed the driver.

The car continued moving forward amidst violent shaking. My heart was pounding like a drum, but she forced herself to remain calm and think of a solution.

At the critical moment, another car appeared just in time and stopped the vehicle that was trying to crash into me.

The taxi I was in sped up, and I eventually escaped danger and arrived safely at the police station.

After I got off the bus, my legs went weak and I almost collapsed to the ground.

My stomach is churning, and I feel like I'm going to throw up everything I ate last night.

Despite my physical discomfort, I immediately handed over the backup of the surveillance footage to the police.

The police acted quickly, retrieving and reviewing the backup video footage.

As the footage played, the truth gradually came to light: the injured person had indeed fallen accidentally, and it had nothing to do with my mother.

I sat in the mediation room, and the police officer poured me a glass of water.

"Ms. Gu, please wait a moment."

"Thank you." I nodded, and the warm water flowed slowly through my stomach, gradually calming my heart.

Not long after, the victim's family members were also invited here. The moment they saw me, they looked fierce and menacing.

"You murderer."

I was stunned for a moment. They really had gone mad; they saw everyone as a murderer.

In the end, the police officer scolded him and then told him the truth.

The injured person's family was devastated; they could not accept this cruel reality.

"You're all in cahoots."

"Don't think I don't know, the man who came yesterday is your sugar daddy."

“You must have bribed them, that’s why the police are speaking on your behalf.”

……

I was so angry I wanted to bite them to death. Just as I was about to get up and argue, I heard the older boy scolding me loudly.

“You are spreading rumors. If you are not satisfied with our investigation results, you can appeal.”

"However, your current remarks constitute an infringement of Ms. Gu's right to reputation, and Ms. Gu has every right to sue you."

The group of people who were crying and wailing suddenly fell silent; no one spoke.

I stood up and explained softly, "I understand how you feel, but this really has nothing to do with my mother."

“My mom could have just left as if nothing had happened, but she didn’t. She went to check if the other person was still alive and called an ambulance.”

They hesitated, but when they met the policeman's gaze, they shut their mouths.

The police officers patiently mediated, trying to calm them down and explain the relevant legal provisions.

Even if they wanted to deny it, they couldn't.

Just then, Jiang Yichen also arrived at the police station.

I saw him, walked easily to his side, and said with a hint of pride, "The matter has been resolved."

He glanced at me coldly. "Ha, you almost lost your life on the way, what's there to be proud of?"

He walked past me and went to the family.

"Hey, why are you going?"

I jogged up to catch up and heard him talking to the police.

"They cannot leave yet."

"why?"

We asked in unison.

"Take a look, do you recognize this person?"

Jiang Yichen had a man with a scar on his face brought in.

"Hua Zi?"

Jiang Yichen said coldly, "He was driving just now and tried to run over Gu Mo, which constitutes intentional injury. We will prosecute him according to the law."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, the injured person's family looked at the person who had been brought in with disbelief.

"Hua Zi! You're still young, how could you do such a thing!"

The man lowered his head and remained silent.

"Say something! What's the reason?!"

The elderly woman at the head of the group was crying hysterically, constantly questioning the other party.

"Since you're not going to talk, let's go inside and talk. Let's go!"

The police said they were going to take him away, but the old woman clung to him and wouldn't let him go, bursting into tears.

The man finally couldn't take it anymore and choked up as he explained, "I just wanted to scare Gu Mo and tell her not to meddle in other people's business. I never expected things to turn out like this."

Jiang Yichen watched all this, walked to my side, and said softly, "It's alright, it's all over now."

I looked at Jiang Yichen gratefully and nodded.

The police acted swiftly, taking the family member who had attempted extortion to the interrogation room. The atmosphere was tense and serious.

A short while later, a policeman came out of the interrogation room and briefly told us the results.

“We have already asked him, and he admitted that he knew all along that the injured person had fallen on his own.”

"But when he saw Gu Mo's mother coming upstairs at that time, he became greedy and wanted to take the opportunity to extort money from her."

"He was afraid that Gu Mo would also discover the truth and ruin his plans, so he tried to run Gu Mo over with his car."

Upon hearing this, the injured man's family members pleaded with me: "We are all unfortunate people. He was just confused for a moment, which is why he did such a thing. The injured man still needs a lot of medical expenses for treatment, and we really can't afford any more. Please let him go; he is also our family member."

I hesitated; seeing them was like seeing myself right after going bankrupt…

But when they hurt me and my mother back then, did they never think that this day would come?

Who's pitiful? I'm the pitiful one. Who's going to pity me?

I was heavily in debt, but I never said I would stage an accident to extort money from someone!

"I don't forgive them. Judge them however they want," I said coldly to the police officer.

The police officers nodded in agreement and prepared to open a case.

At this moment, the injured man's family members became even more anxious. They continued to plead with Gu Mo, "We really know we were wrong, and we will definitely discipline him properly in the future. Please give us another chance; we can't live without him."

My stance is clear: the police will handle the rest; it has nothing to do with me.

After leaving the police station, it was already late at night, and the streetlights cast a dim yellow glow, making our shadows appear long.

I turned to look at Jiang Yichen, my eyes filled with gratitude: "Thank you so much for today. If it weren't for you, I might..."

Jiang Yichen suddenly interrupted her, his tone tinged with reproach: "You are so stupid! You used to be so harsh on me, and you weren't kind when you should have been; now that you've almost lost your life, you still feel sorry for those family members."

I was stunned; I hadn't expected Jiang Yichen to say that.

She lowered her head and softly retorted, "I just... felt sorry for them for a moment, but didn't I make the right choice?"
